Our Take

BENNY SOEBARDJA's latest album, "The Lizard Years," is a wild ride through the psychedelic jungle of Indonesian rock. The legendary musician, known for his work with the band Giant Step, brings his signature blend of trippy grooves and mind-bending lyrics to this eclectic collection of tracks.

From the opening notes of "Lizard Dance," the listener is transported to a world where guitars shimmer like heatwaves on the horizon and drums pound like the heartbeat of a giant lizard. SOEBARDJA's vocals are a mesmerising mix of ancient mysticism and modern-day swagger, floating effortlessly over the hypnotic rhythms and swirling guitars.

Tracks like "Jungle Boogie" and "Sunset Serenade" showcase SOEBARDJA's mastery of the genre, blending surf rock with traditional Indonesian influences to create a sound that is both familiar and exotic. The result is a sonic tapestry that is as rich and vibrant as the rainforest itself.

But it's not all sunshine and butterflies on "The Lizard Years." Tracks like "Dark Magic" and "Serpent's Song" delve into darker territory, exploring themes of loss and longing with a raw intensity that is both haunting and beautiful.

Overall, "The Lizard Years" is a must-listen for fans of psychedelic rock and world music alike. Benny Soebardja proves once again that he is a true master of his craft, weaving a spellbinding musical journey that is sure to leave listeners spellbound. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let the music take you on a wild ride through the jungle of your mind.
